Re: Assorted Merchandise Discussion

I use the VHS often, hell I don't even bother with DVD anymore unless I can't find the movie on VHS. Besides, VHS copies are cheaper, most of the movies I got at Goodwill were like 99 cents, hell they used to be 69 cents!

The reason the king's revival is a plot hole is because they never explain how the king got re-evolved. There was no beam of light or any indication that someone used the Devo gun on him, in fact no one seemed to be there when the King was revived. So how could be the king re-evolved if he wasn't sh...

Serum already mentioned this in another thread but I thought I'd post it here as well.

The reason why the Goombas are so tall in this movie is a reference/joke on the fact that when normal sized, the Mario's are just as tall or even shorter than the Goombas.

Actually that doesn't sound bad. Though to be honest, if Raimi's not directing then it just won't feel like an Evil Dead movie. Besides I'm one of those fans who wants an Evil Dead 4, much more than an Evil Dead Remake but that's just my opinion.
